A failed attempt...

Rating: 4/10 (15 July 2003)

A failed attempt is a gracious way of stating that this movie attempted to be something that it wasnt. In the directors attempt to remake the classic zombie picture, he did only one thing succesfully...prove why zombie movies havent been made in a very long time. The format of film, while im sure easy to distribute, and modify, presented pictures full of undesiredable noise, and distraction. While this pictures presented some interestig themes, they were never developed for the sole reasoning that the movies bad plot and bad filming distracted too much. The acting on cilian murphys part is well done, it could not salvage this film from the fire it was thrown into by the directors, writers, and producers. I will admit that the sole reason that i saw this film was because the first teaser preview was scary as hell, but i urge anyone with this same motivation, NOT to see it.
